Anthony Rizzo back to the leadoff spot for the Cubs
Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo will bat leadoff against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday.
What It Means:
Rizzo has been the Cubs' leadoff hitter for four of their last six games, though he was hitting out of the two hole while Willson Contreras was at the top of the order last night. With Contreras out Rizzo reclaims his leadoff spot against Nationals' ace Max Scherzer tonight.
Rizzo has a solid .361 wOBA against right-handed pitching this season, but against Scherzer and his 2.74 SIERA that level of production doesn't leave Rizzo offering much fantasy value at his $3,200 price-tag.
